I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

“For long distances, the Innate Wind Thunder Escape can be performed, while for short distances, the Xiao Space-Shift Technique can be used. The escape abilities are unparalleled in the Nascent Soul realm.”

Lu Xuan stealthily returned to the Sword Sect and summoned the White Ape before him.

“I have some matters to attend to, and I will be traveling afar. During this period, everything related to the Cave Abode is handled by you.

If fellow sect members visit, say that I’ve secluded myself for cultivation and will handle matters upon my return.”

“Yes, Master!”

The White Ape bowed deeply.

“Rest assured, Master, I guarantee not to let you down.”

Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

Due to the vast number of Plant Spirits in the Tree Realm, it wasn’t convenient to carry them over long distances. Instead, he took along his Personal Spatial, where he planned to arrange the Xuan Ji Tree Mother and many Plant Spirits directly.

After delegating these matters, he quietly left the Sword Sect.

Less than a month, he appeared above the Cloud Void Domain.

“The speed of the Innate Wind Thunder Escape is indeed extraordinary, several times faster than that Seventh Grade Giant Sword Boat.”

Lu Xuan looked at the vast territory beneath his feet, expressing his thoughts.

The journey was relatively smooth, only encountering a group of reckless demonic creatures whom he drove away with three swipes, turning them into black ash, without attracting the attention of more powerful demonic creatures.

“Once I subdue the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, I’ll head to the Wutu Star Cave and other places to procure some Spirit Soil and Spiritual Liquid, further expanding my Personal Spatial.”

By now, he had accumulated quite a fortune, so he didn’t worry about running out of Spirit Stones.

“The Sky Wave Tree Realm where the Xuan Ji Tree Mother resides is located within the Green Wood Star Cave inside the Heavenly Star Cave. Hopefully, the migration of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother and others into my Personal Spatial will go smoothly.”

Lu Xuan confirmed the location, concealing his cultivation level at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage realm, maneuvering the Scolding Thunder Wing, transforming into a stream of light, and swiftly heading towards the Green Wood Star Cave.

“Finally arrived.”

Lu Xuan entered the Endless Forest Sea, releasing a trace of aura, quietly waiting for the appearance of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.

Soon, countless massive branches and roots around began to generate a pale green aura, quickly forming into a figure shaped like a human, in emerald green.

“Young friend, you’ve arrived.”

An exceedingly gentle voice sounded in Lu Xuan’s ears.

“Lu Mou greets the tree mother elder, how have things been for you lately?”

Lu Xuan respectfully greeted her.

“Relatively well.”

The countless green vines extending from the upper body of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother swayed lightly.

“Your help in repairing the Tree Realm passage last time, although there are still cultivators coveting and harassing, entering the Tree Realm has become much more difficult than before. Occasionally, a Nascent Soul cultivator might intrude, but poses little threat.”

The Xuan Ji Tree Mother stated calmly.

“But it’s been tough on the many Plant Spirits in the Tree Realm, unable to return to the once peaceful and leisurely days.”

Lu Xuan sighed softly.

“Today is not like the past; surviving in the Green Wood Star Cave now is already an achievement, not daring to expect more.”

The Xuan Ji Tree Mother replied serenely.

“Lu Mou has a method that could solve the current troubles for the tree mother elder and many Plant Spirits.”

Lu Xuan smiled slightly.

“Young friend, you mean…”

“Elder, do you remember the agreement with me last time?”

“Have you… broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage?”

Even the usually calm Xuan Ji Tree Mother couldn’t help but feel a bit stirred.

“I’ve luckily made the breakthrough, fulfilling my promise.”

Lu Xuan released the Heaven-Shed Mantis covering his Sea of Consciousness, unleashing a trace of True Essence Power.

“Indeed the Late Nascent Soul Stage! I never thought Friend Lu’s cultivation speed would be so fast!”

The vines of the Xuan Ji Tree Mother moved involuntarily, showing the impact this news had on it.

When Lu Xuan first entered the Tree Realm and met it, he was merely at the Core Formation Cultivation. Who would have thought that over two hundred years, he had already advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

Such speed is rare in the entire Cultivation World.

“Congratulations, Friend Lu!”

Unconsciously, there was a touch of respect in the Xuan Ji Tree Mother’s tone.

Although it had been living in the Tree Realm for nearly ten thousand years, it wasn’t adept at combat and its strength might not be greater than Lu Xuan now.

“I suppose Lu Mou now has enough strength to protect those Plant Spirits.”

Lu Xuan chuckled lightly, then took out the Spirit Flower refined from the Eightfold Palace.

“This Spirit Flower is my Personal Spatial, with pure and dense spiritual energy and a vast area. It can barely be considered a small Cave Heaven.”

“Once combined with Elder Tree Mother and the numerous Plant Spirits in the Tree Realm, this Personal Spatial should be able to reach a higher level.”

“I invite elder to enter with Divine Sense for inspection.”

He sincerely invited.

“Alright.”

A dark green vine swiftly darted out, entering the opened Personal Spatial from Lu Xuan.

Out of confidentiality, Lu Xuan only revealed the area allocated for the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, not exposing his possession of Ninth Grade Spirit Plants and others.

“Indeed a wonderful place.”

After a few breaths, the Xuan Ji Tree Mother opened her eyes, nodding with satisfaction.

Lu Xuan had delineated a vast area with abundant spiritual energy, stronger than the Green Wood Star Cave.

Although the area was slightly smaller, it was sufficient for many Plant Spirits to live in.

She pondered over Lu Xuan’s invitation.

If conditions allowed, no one would willingly migrate away from the homeland where they lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years. But the Tree Realm was becoming increasingly uneasy, compelling her to consider leaving.

And Lu Xuan was a fitting object of allegiance.

With a cultivation level at the Late Nascent Soul Stage and the backing of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, security wasn’t a concern.

Furthermore, he displayed great sincerity in preparing for the migration of all the Plant Spirits in the Tree Realm.

Importantly, she had known Lu Xuan for many years, understanding his character, and once attached, surely, he would treat her and all the Plant Spirits kindly.

Reflecting on these, the Xuan Ji Tree Mother made up her mind.

“Then, I entrust everything to Friend Lu moving forward.”

She said softly to Lu Xuan.

“Hahaha! Welcome elder to reside in my Personal Spatial.”

Lu Xuan laughed heartily.

“Nothing else, safety is what Lu Mou can guarantee, as long as I’m present, elder and the many Plant Spirits won’t be disturbed by the outside world.”

He solemnly assured the Xuan Ji Tree Mother.

“Very well, I believe we can coexist peacefully and mutually benefit.”

The Xuan Ji Tree Mother nodded with a smile.

“Just a glance inside that Personal Spatial, I noticed quite a few High Rank Spirit Plants, just as the Plant Spirits in the Tree Realm can accelerate Spirit Plant growth, and occasionally produce Mixed Element Tree Liquid and other accelerated spiritual objects.”

She was well aware of Lu Xuan’s needs, speaking openly.

“Furthermore, I will gift to Friend Lu all the few strands of Mysterious Natural Secret Qi in my possession as a thank-you for migrating into your Personal Spatial.”

Before the Xuan Ji Tree Mother’s words had settled, nine strands of emerald green spiritual energy swiftly darted out.

The spiritual energy seemed to have a life of its own, moving agilely, leaving behind a faint natural aura, causing the surrounding giant trees and vines to emit a unique vitality.

These were the Eighth Grade Mysterious Natural Secret Qi she previously gifted to Lu Xuan.

Unexpectedly, he could collect nine strands this time.

Lu Xuan accepted this unexpected joy, his lips curving upward.

“Thank you, elder, for the gift. This Mysterious Natural Secret Qi is indeed what Lu Mou urgently needs, so I won’t stand on ceremony.”

“That’s proper.”

Seeing Lu Xuan accept the nine strands of Mysterious Natural Secret Qi, the Xuan Ji Tree Mother felt even more relieved.

“There’s one more thing I must tell Friend Lu.”

“Elder, feel free to speak.”

Lu Xuan gestured casually.

“Since I have lived in the Tree Realm for almost ten thousand years, those Plant Spirits were born here and can be considered almost integrated with the Tree Realm.”

“During the migration, we need to sever ties with many matters within the Tree Realm, with some spiritual objects needing to be brought into Friend Lu’s Personal Spatial.”

“When the time comes, it will cause a great commotion, and the prohibitions and restrictions in the Tree Realm will be heavily shaken, possibly attracting some cultivators.”

“Therefore, we need Friend Lu to act as protector, resolving external disturbances.”

The Xuan Ji Tree Mother explained slowly.

“Of course, if Friend Lu feels unfit, I can painfully abandon some, and quickly settle into Friend Lu’s Personal Spatial.”

“Elder need not worry, just proceed as needed.”

Lu Xuan replied casually.

Hearing the Xuan Ji Tree Mother would migrate many spiritual objects from the Tree Realm into his Personal Spatial, how could he not agree?

As soon as he finished speaking, layers of Treasure Light emerged from his body:

“Lu Mou will definitely protect you completely.”
